One thing that is worse than breaking-up is: WAITING

After much contemplating, I finally decided to blog. These few weeks has been filled with very much joy, laughter and not to forget tears (no thanks to all the sad malay movies aired by tv3 and astro ria). This evening, I watched "Bicara Dari Tuhan", featuring Rosyam Nor, Ifa Raziah, and this guy named Firr something. I have to say, this movie is by far one of the best Ive seen. We all know the story from mom's side who has a son that committed treason, such as the infamous Si Tanggang. Most movie would downplay the soft side of a father, but I salute the director for tapping into this. I think children should respect both parents and love them equally.

Anyways, that is not why I blog this time. Alhamdulillah, Ive got a job affer already. Its not really that great, but I am willing to try out new things. I am pushing the conventional path that a finance/economics student would usually take. Its with some bank, under Compliance, Corporate Governance, and Competency. I have always been interested in these actually, having learned some of these stuffs in Risk Management modules. I know, for a fact that accounting is my flair. And, I also know, for a fact that I am good at finance. However, I figured why should I limit myself to these? DO I ENJOY DOING THEM? NOT NECESSARILY.

I am still young, and the best thing for me to do now is to experiment and decide which area would I enjoy the most. I think, this is the best time to learn a couple or two things about MYSELF. Really, what can I do BEST? There must be a reason why the HR people are putting me into this department despite my strong background in finance and economics. I have faith in them, and let see how things go from here.

On a different note, I am still waiting for the final say by one of Oil & Gas companies. Again, the position I applied really fell off the conventional route. It is for Sales & Marketing. I have read in some book, that one of the best skills to pick up and would benefit a person in the long run is actually from doing sales. I thought it through and decided to give it a try. I do believe that sales would polish all the necessary soft skills needed to climb up the corporate ladder. But why marketing then? BECAUSE I CAN SEE MYSELF DOING IT! I find satisfaction tapping into my creativity (if I may say so..) and I could have not asked for more.

So, what now? Guess I'll wait. I have said it last time, and I am going to say it one more time. Careful what you wished for, because YOU just might get it. =)
